The Protectorate of Arano is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Arlessa Keona Arano with an even hand, and renowned for its burgeoning cormorant population. The hard-working population of 3.463 billion Aranoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cordia. The average income tax rate is 15.9%.

The strong Aranoan economy, worth 205 trillion kamas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 59,253 kamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, and noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law. Crime is well under control. Arano's national animal is the cormorant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vezkelios.

Arano is ranked 208,193^rd in the world and 3^rd in siam land for Most Authoritarian, with 558.34 milliStalins.
